Start your review of Lone Wolf Wolves of the Beyond, 1. Jul 03, Whitlea rated it did not like it Shelves: didn-t-like. I was really surprised that I didn't like this one. I had enjoyed what I had read of Lasky's Ga'hoole series, and I was expecting this to be comparable in quality to that.
There were two main issues I had with this book. The first one is that it is horribly dull. The beginning was very exciting, but the first two parts were uninteresting.
It didn't help that the main character doesn't have that much of a personality. It started to pick up around the end, but it was too little too late for me. Th I was really surprised that I didn't like this one. The other issue I have is that the way the society of wolves was portrayed.
It irked me to no end that Clans of wolves were considered "noble" as opposed to the cannibals living on the outskirts. Killing innocent wolf pups in the name of genetic purity is on the same level as killing one of your own to eat, in my opinion. I was expecting somewhat of a challenge to be made against their highly unethical practices.
I would have liked this book a whole lot better if we had at least been given that. I suppose this might be corrected future installments, but why bother? This promised to be an exciting animal fantasy, but instead I found myself bored and irritated beyond belief by the end of the novel. Honestly, I'd recommend skipping this one and picking up something like Guardians of Ga'hoole or Warriors instead. View all 29 comments.
This book was recommended to me by my 9-yr old son. He read it in class and loved it and thought I would enjoy it as well. I am so glad I read it, it was a really well told story of a wolf named Faolan who was born "malcadh" which meant he had some type of disability which in his case was a splayed paw with a swirl on the bottom pad.
Malcadh pups are taken away and left to die to keep the packs strong and healthy. Faolan was rescued by a grizzly bear named Thunderheart who had just lost a cub an This book was recommended to me by my 9-yr old son.
Faolan was rescued by a grizzly bear named Thunderheart who had just lost a cub and she became his milk mother. This story brought out so many emotions and the characters felt so real to me. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.
Dec 27, Cindy rated it it was ok Shelves: kids-fantasy , read-in This book frustrated me. I loved Laskey's past series on owls so it could only be assumed that this book would be similar but with wolves. However, it wasn't. A few of my problems included - -This book was a lot of "tell" not show. There were pages of descriptions, describing wolf packs, habits, personality, behaviors. There isn't a lot of character interaction, and it almost feels like I'm reading a textbook.
The author picks up conversations in the last 30 pages or so but by then it lost me. I understand that the Beyond is close to the previous series of books with the owls, but it seemed the reader was contantly being drilled that the owls were close and that YES this author was the author of the Owl series. It's like this series couldn't stand alone without the random owl comparison, or sentence. Not because there isn't a personality but because one isn't developed.
This has to go with the whole "telling" not showing. So by the time the main character developed I knew nothing about them. View all 6 comments. Apr 10, Allie rated it it was amazing Shelves: with-my-kiddie-pops , audiobook. My 11 year old son's rating. I've struggled with the ratings on the last several middle grade books we've listened to; that's why I'm just putting my son's rating.
This book is of a series of 4 books with the mystifying adventures of a young wolf pup named Foalan. I am currently reading the 2nd book: Watch Wolf. Growing up i've had an undying passion for wolves, i raised two wolf pups, Megan and Shiba, of which I found as orphans and decided to adopt them. My friend recommended this book to me as she noticed i am obsessed with wolves.
This book tells of a wolf pup who was exiled from his pack due to being "diffirent" Seperated from his pack and parents, he This book is of a series of 4 books with the mystifying adventures of a young wolf pup named Foalan. This book tells of a wolf pup who was exiled from his pack due to being "diffirent" Seperated from his pack and parents, he was left to die, literally. In pack law if there is a deformity in a pup, the pup is taken someplace where death is certain and the mother is banned from the pack and forbidden from returning so that the packs bloodline is not corrupted.
I don't want to spoil this book so i'll only tell you my favorite part, when Foalon is left to die by the Obea, he ends up washing up on shore before a grizzly mother overtaken by grief and ready to throw her life away. The grizzly had lost her two cubs to a male grizzly who ruthlessly killed them for a chance to mate with her, when she finds Foalon she thinks of him as a gift from the heavens and a reason for living. This is my favorite part because, without eachother they both would've died.
This book is a great stress reliever and a book to get your creative juices flowing. View 2 comments. Jul 02, Rachel Harris rated it it was amazing Shelves: homeschool , jordan-reviews.

This enchanting read will unveil your inner fangirl with a character we can all relate to. It teaches a lesson many fail to teach, the social crime of prejudice and how not to judge someone by what you see, but by their heart. Nov 09, Zach Densley rated it it was amazing.
